Strange

the wavelets flung it here,
this sea-gliding creature,
this strange creature like a weed....”

“Diseased nature oftentimes breaks forth
In strange eruptions; oft the teeming earth
Is with a kind of colic pinched and vexed
By the imprisoning of unruly wind
Within her womb, which, for enlargement striving,
Shakes the old beldame earth, and topples down
Steeples and moss-grown towers.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)

“a strange being leans over her
and lifts her chin firmly
and gazes at her with executioner’s eyes.”
—Anne Sexton (1928–1974)
